Summary

The follow-up to the number one best seller Paper Aeroplanes.

It's a year and a half on from Paper Aeroplanes, and Renée is now living idyllically with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renée likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the One' - someone who will love her no matter what and be there for her no matter how bad things get. She and Flo are in their final year at school, and they've got some tough choices to make - like will they go to university? And if so where - and will they go together?

Renée's ambivalence on the matter shocks Flo, who had assumed they'd continue as they were, the best and closest of friends, forever. She feels as though she needs Renée's support more than ever, so when a handsome young boy enters Flo's life, she finds herself powerfully drawn to his kindness and his faith.

Renée and Flo's friendship will soon be tested in a way neither of them could have expected - and if Paper Aeroplanes was a book about finding friendship, Goose is the novel that explores whether it's possible to keep hold of it.

Nice follow on from Paper Planes

Overall I enjoyed this book, I read Paper Planes in paperback and struggled to get into Goose the same way I did before, so I decided to try it on audio and was hooked. Narrated well and characters well performed, story flowed well.

Wanted to like this

I’ve enjoyed all the other books by this author, including the first book in this two part but I found this one a bit flat and boring. I got about 60% through and then skimmed to the end. It was okay, but it didn’t grip me, and I didn’t really care what happened.
